THE SUBTLE ART OF FAILURE with Harry Josh

THE SUBTLE ART OF FAILURE with Harry Josh

Author: Matty Conrad September 22, 2019 Duration: 1:26:19
We have all dreamed about making it big. Being celebrated in our field, and working at the highest level... travelling the world... surrounded by famous atheletes, fashionistas, and supermodels. Sounds great right? But the toad to that kind of success is seldom an easy one as my friend Harry Josh can tell you. He is one of the most celebrated hairstylists in fashion and is responsible for some of the most iconic looks and supermodels in recent history but the road to get here was marked with so many failures and he took so many blows to his ego that at one point he had just given up completely... every stylist or barber that dreams of “making it big”. Needs to hear this story.

You’ve probably heard of Matty Conrad, an international figure in men’s grooming who’s spent years on the road connecting with stylists and barbers everywhere. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot with @mattyconrad is where those connections come to life. This isn’t just a series of interviews; it’s a collection of conversations with the friends he’s made along the way, all of whom are leading voices in the arts, beauty, and fashion worlds. Each episode dives into the topics that actually matter to creative professionals today-the sometimes messy, often divisive, but always real discussions happening behind the chair and behind the scenes. You’ll hear genuine stories about building a career and a life, with practical advice that goes far beyond technique. Matty brings a relatable curiosity to every talk, whether he’s unpacking industry shifts or exploring what success really looks like. Tune in for a podcast that feels like pulling up a chair in a busy shop after hours, where the stories flow as freely as the ideas, and you always leave with something valuable.
